Pretty wild storm,huh? It may be a while before we see that much snow again. Nice pics. Here in CT it was snowing so hard that I could barely drive. Had to stop several times due to white out. Now we know what it would be like if one of those monster rainstorms was snow.

I grew up in Marshfield, Just moved to Plymouth about 4 years ago. I'm trying hard to recognize the truck, but I can't place it... We got nailed down here and on the Cape as well. I guess next time I'll have to take some pictures. I wish I took some when I was plowing out my whole street. The town never showed up. I plowed like 3/4 of a mile of my street, after the whole 2 feet fell. I took me hours and hours to push through it.

While I was out doing it an town truck showed up. It was a big 10 wheeler with a huge highway plow and a fully loaded sander on the back. So I see him coming and back into a driveway to move out of the way, as he goes by me he stopped for a second and waved, roll's his window down and yell's, "hey, you can go home; the BIG truck is here now". he made it about 15 feet past where I had stopped clearing, and proceeded to get stuck. I laughed so hard I nearly pissed my pants. So I got out and said," Hey, you guys got any BIGGER trucks?"

He had slid sideways just a little and couldn't get out of the 3' snow bank he just created. So I had to get close and push it off to the side of the road from behind him. He turned the sander on and made a big pile and he and I and his partner shoveled a bunch under the wheels and he was out, But then he say's, " I'm backing outta here I can't get this thing stuck again. We'll be back later on"

The neighbors were all pissed when they saw him leaving. I kept going and finished the street. ( 4 feet forward at a time) man did I work my poor truck hard. Some might ask Why? Because at the end of the Cul De Sac there is a woman who is on Dialysis! She needed to get out. So what else could I do. My Dad brought me up that way. "If you can help someone, You just help them; there's no questioning it. Just do it" ussmileyflag

The nice part of it was, the first neighbor that I talked to called all the other neighbors to tell them I was doing this without getting paid by the town, One after another these people were all coming out of there houses with Cash, Coffee, and Food for me. I made alot of new friends on my street that day (and some extra money)... and I felt damn good about it too.
